Statement:

Canonically, either Korgs parents form a polyamorous couple, or one of them is a transwoman.

Proof:

He says in ragnorak that the only one who came to his revolutions was “me mum and her boyfriend. Who I hate.” but in Love and Thunder, he says he was created by his “dads” holding hands in lava. So either the mum was dating both ‘dads’ or was once one of those dads, who then transitioned into a woman and got a new boyfriend.

Conclusion:

Korg 100% grew up in a queer family.

I dont make the rules. Marvel does.

Things I Loved About Thor: Love and Thunder

*SPOILER WARNING*

1. The Gods Metaphor: I think the gods council could be a metaphor for a lot of different things, but I understood it as a metaphor for a council of leading world powers. Individual countries approach for help against an oncoming war, aid against the pandemic, famine, massacring dictators, rising sea levels and sinking homes, etc., to which the council will reply, Regretfully there is nothing we can do for you. Your country's problems are your own.

Maybe if you have enough power to call yourself a leading world power (said power having been acquired through war and colonialism, or in other words, human sacrifices), you also have a responsibility to give aid back to the world? I don’t know. (BTW, climate change is real and the irreversible consequences get catastrophic in 30 months, please ask your government representatives to write climate agreements, things are looking real bad.)

Like the other gods, Thor still has the colonial power metaphor working in him too. At the beginning of the movie, he destroyed a holy temple while winning a battle for the native people there. Saved the people, but destroyed a cultural monument in the process. He does apologize for the destruction, though, and he doesn't ask for any compensation. He saves people for the sake of saving, which sets him apart from the other gods.

2. The Classic Thor Adventure: Here's the formula. Thor experiences loss, Thor gets character development, and Thor saves people despite high personal costs. Not necessarily in that order. This movie, like the previous ones, stuck to the formula. It works for both Thors.

3. Terminal Illness: Sometimes cancer treatments don't work. But there is a way to interpret death by illness as something other than "a lost battle"! The chemotherapy, and continuing the fight for everyday life, that is a battlefield! That is a warrior living life and achieving Valhalla through their courage and tenacity! (Also made me think about the pandemic’s ongoing death toll. There's a reason humans invented the concept of the afterlife.) (A Warriors' Welcome awaits all who fall in battle, you know! You get it!) (I cried in the theater.)

4. The Hammer: I think, no, I hope Mjolnir doesn't form attachments to its wielders. Mjolnir chooses wielders based on their willingness to sacrifice themselves for a just cause. The power of the hammer doesn't have anything to do with saving its wielder. It is a resuscitation device meant to last long enough for the wielder to do what needs to be done. I think it would be cruel for that hammer to be sentient, both to the hammer and the wielder being chosen. Of course, I don't think the wielders themselves would be as sad about the implications as I am. They're self-sacrificial heroes.

(Stormbreaker is definitely attached to Thor though. That ax has got a personality.)

5. Production Value: The cinematography was absolutely gorgeous, and the lighting in the fight scenes? Phenomenal. I love glowing eyes and arcing lightning so much. The battle scenes are so satisfying. I can't stop talking about the action sequences. The use of slo-mo is ethereal.

6. Hotness Scale: Thor and Valkyrie are so hot. Dr. Jane Foster, so incredibly hot. Your catchphrase is so cool, Mighty Thor. (MY BLORBOS.)

7. The Kids: If I were still a twelve-year-old and I’d just watched a movie where children weren't merely helpless victims who needed to be rescued by adults, but they were also cool heroes of their own right who had an incredibly badass action scene as they rescued themselves?? I mean, I know what my all-time favorite superhero movie would've been henceforth. (Maybe this is why I loved the Percy Jackson books so much.)

8. The Lovers: Jane Foster and Thor Odinson are in love. They fell in love sitting around a campfire talking about stars, and somehow they never stopped. The downside of being in love with a superhero is that you never know which world-saving mission will take your lover away. From beginning to end, they were star-crossed—and yet they didn't stop waiting, or crying; and whenever they saw each other they unfailingly said, "I still love you."

(They went to Halloween parties and learned rollerblading together. They bounced hero catchphrases off each other. They're awkward nerds who forget to explain the context for the weird stuff they blurt out. I just. Can't deal.)

9. LGBTQIA Representation: Hey, look, trans rep! Gay rep! Lesbian rep! The characters are important to the story and all survive too! That's pretty cool. Especially for a mainstream Marvel movie expected to be watched by a whole bunch of people. 

10. Life Stages: This is possibly the last movie for the Old Avengers. Marvel is changing their target audience from middle-aged men/ex-children to current children. It's a necessary transition. It feels fitting that the final Thor movie asks our severely traumatized, still living hero: After everything is said and done, what will you do? And Thor adopts a child to raise with love. Neither of them have family left, so they might as well become new family for each other. (God of Thunder and God of Love, huh. That’s some myth.)

(This movie was a great sendoff for Thor in terms of reopening your heart after grief and giving power to the younger generation, but I'm seriously going to miss Thor, holy fuck. I. My og team time bomb. Now they're all really bowing out and exiting stage left. Bruce is gonna be the last hand-off.)

(They had a good run. I will miss these myths.) (FANFICTION, SAVE ME.)

11. The Deer: There is a very specific kind of deer called the Korean water deer (Hydropotes inermis argyropus) that screams like a human. It is the dominant deer species in Korea but endangered practically everywhere else. They are so many of them in the mountains. My friend once recorded them screaming at night because they were holding a metal rock concert. I guess what I'm trying to say is, the concept of the screaming deer is not new to me, but the screaming deer were still pretty damn funny.

Thor: Love & Thunder Thoughts [heavy spoilers below]

Lowkey think I need to watch the movie again to really take in certain moments/scenes, but for now, let’s just stick with some thoughts I had about it. (it’s kinda all over the place but bare with me)

1. I have no idea why there are so many negative reviews and harsh critics of the movie. I thought it was a good one, not perfect, but great. Is it my favorite Thor movie? I’ll have to think about it but it’s getting there. 

2. Gorr The God Butcher: He was a decent villain. I sympathized with him but sympathy can only go so far when one kidnaps children and looks like a zombie dyed in grey. The sword was cool though, the monsters/aliens? creepy. 

3. Eternity??? I have questions Marvel. 

4. Jane Foster. DOCTOR JANE FOSTER!!! She absolutely killed it in the movie, like seriously. I had an inkling that they’d go the cancer storyline but I was hoping she’d still be alive at the end of the movie. The fringing has got to stop. Although I get why they had her die at the end. It’s ironic how the very thing that made her powerful and healthy was also the thing that led to her death, same with Gorr. No but who is going to tell Darcy and Erik????? I’m getting sad just thinking about it again...

But also, how should one interpret Jane becoming Mighty Thor? Don’t get me wrong, I love her as Mighty Thor, she was an absolute powerhouse and was amazing, but was she worthy or not? Did mjolnir choose her because Thor told mjolnir to protect her or is she actually worthy? It’s something to think about it.

5. KING VALKYRIE!!! her entrance to the battle of New Asgard was amazing and technically Jane did it too when arriving to fight Gorr with Thor. Both amazing entrances. Both amazing women who are besties. Valkyrie & Jane knocking their weapons together was just 10/10. 

6. “EAT MY HAMMER!” I c o n i c

7. The goats were pretty funny but got a bit annoying at the end.

8. The representation was done quite well this movie. Korg & Dwayne. 

9. BAO uwu

10. Nice to know that Zeus is a douchebag in essentially all versions of him. Besides the cartoon Hercules movie that Disney did back then. Quite interested to see what will happen, knowing that Hercules has been introduced. I guess now the Gods will be the villains. On sidenote though, Russell Crowe is great. 

11. “Come to daddy” had me laughing so damn hard.

12. The mjolnir > thor < stormbreaker triangle HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA 😂

13. It was nice seeing Sif alive and not being killed off.

14. Jane and Thor.

15. Matt Damon & Luke Hemsworth again with Melissa McCarthy as Hela made me spit out my popcorn 😂😂😂

16. The soundtrack was pretty good, loved the 80′s feel to it and the COLORS!! It’s so colorful in T:LaT and I love it!!

17. The kids getting powers and being amazing with them? YES! Go girl with the teddy bear!! Spy Kids but give them actual powers. 

18. The montages were great. Especially the one with Jane and Thor. That really pulled on my heartstrings and made me all fuzzy inside seeing them being in love and seeing their domestic life together. WE COULD’VE HAD IT ALL!!! Jane dressing as John Hurt (didn’t know who that was until I saw someone on tumblr mention it) and Thor as a hot dog, roller-skating together, being domestic, Thor starting to think of a future, as in kids (has he always felt like he wanted a kid or did he want to have a kid with Jane?) The events leading up to the break-up, etc. I take pause with the handwritten letter though. Like it’s so dumb honestly, and I wish that they kept the alternate ending where it actually explains why they broke up and it makes sense. 

19. Thor: I did really love him in the movie. He’s been through a lot and lost essentially all his loved ones and more. The guy is going through the motions, he was struggling and then he picked himself up, he fought for it. Then he had something to fight for. I think the process that Thor went through, the development was done quite well. I’ve always loved his character, just didn’t like how his character became the brunt of jokes and making fun of his struggles. 

20. Chris Hemsworth’s butt. That’s all that needs to be said.

21. THE TATOOS ON THOR’S BACK!!! 😭😭😭 “the sun will shine on us again, brother” + Tony & Natasha

22. Jane and Thor.

23. Heimdall’s son. Would like to see more of him.

24. Love? Is that her actual name? I’m just going to assume so from the narration. Don’t know how to feel about her necessarily. She has powers due to being “resurrected” by Eternity, and she had absolute no emotion when she saw her father die. Don’t know how I feel about that. It’s cute that Thor’s like a father now. He wanted to have a kid (kids?), and now he does. 

25. The Guardians: loved every bit of their screentime. I love the guardians with all my heart, especially my boi Peter Quill. Got that smidge of Starmora crumbs too, I’m expecting Starmora endgame in GotG vol. 3 James Gunn. Heed my words. Loved the short Quill + Thor bromance that we got to see, and the “look into the eyes of the people you love” line, it was hilarious but also quite nice. Want to see the Guardians and Thor again. 

26. Jane and Thor. ❤️ It was bittersweet but I’m glad we got the amount that we got. I’ve always loved them together from the very start, fosterson will always be one of my top marvel ships. The hospital scene where Thor says “I love you” and Jane saying it back to him when she’s dying, will forever just break my heart in two, I will never be the same. I’m still recovering from my heartache of palmerstrange from DS:MoM and now this??? Not cool. But anyways, I think for all the fosterson shippers/lovers, we were fed pretty well. Them being a power couple and fighting side by side? Check. Still loving each other after being apart for so many years? (“I’ve always loved you.”) Check. Bringing the heart and love in the movie? Check. Serving one of the most satisfying kisses in mcu history? Check. Giving each other strength to fight, the will to keep going? Check. Making me cry a bucket load of tears at the end? Double check. Fosterson will forever be in my heart, never forgotten. And I hope that the mcu doesn’t forget Dr. Jane Foster also a.k.a Mighty Thor either. Although I’m still bitter that they killed Jane off and just when she and Thor got back together and they both were so happy. I’m just emo over them. But I love them. I really do. And who knows? Maybe there’s hope for them still?

27. VALHALLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA 😩 It was nice to see Heimdall again and him being the person who welcomes Jane into Valhalla. And yes, Jane is in Valhalla. It made total sense to me. She was battling cancer while fighting and she died fighting against it. It counts. Now, she and Thor can reunite in Valhalla, whenever that is. It would’ve been nice to see Loki there but I know why he didn’t show so it’s alright.

28. Underrated opinion(?) but I liked it more when the Thor movies were more serious. Not saying that I don’t like the humor of it all because Ragnarok and T:LaT had some rlly funny moments, but when it’s serious, it’s more impactful imo. Like there’s more feeling, emotions, and realisticness to it besides always making jokes and poking fun. 

Overall, as you can tell from my boatload of thoughts, many many thoughts  about T:LaT but the end result was that I loved it. Absolutely loved it. Did it have flaws? Of course. Every movie is not perfect and that includes mcu movies. But did I enjoy it? Have a lot of good laughs? Cry my eyes out? Yes, yes I did. Brilliant work from Taika and Chris, Natalie, Tessa, and more!! Lots of love! <3

[xxskycrystalxx]

many many many thoughts about t:lat but the ONE thing that stuck through with me was fosterson. although it was bittersweet, t:lat gave me the fosterson bits that I’ve been wanting for a long time and it hurt a lot but it was much more than I had hoped for and that’s what matters.

[xxskycrystalxx]

whoever thought it was a good idea to have new asgard open up a place called “infinity cones” with the gauntlet, is a sick sick person.
